The knocking grew louder and louder, until it became pounding.
Cheng Cheng popped a peanut into his mouth as though he hadn't heard a thing.
Zhong Zixian sat quietly, seemingly giving careful thought to what Lu Mi had just said.
The person outside threatened viciously:
"If you don't open this door, we'll have to break it down by force. When that happens, anyone else inside will be implicated too!"
Lu Mi sighed softly and stood up.
He had fought cautiously to survive in the instances, then grown used to the peaceful atmosphere of the Rest Area... This time, he really had let his guard down.
Zhong Zixian stood up. "Lu Mi, we'll face this with you."
Lu Mi smiled at him and opened the door as smoothly as he always did. It was as though the visitors were ordinary friends, rather than guards who wanted his life.
The entire floor was surrounded, with no way out.

"Don't say another word!" Lu Mi's face paled as he shouted for him to stop.
